Lot Description

1884-CC Liberty Head Eagle. EF-40 (PCGS). CAC. Boldly toned in original honey-gold, this handsome piece is well defined overall with appreciable luster remaining in the fields. The final Carson City Mint ten-dollar gold issue delivered prior to 1890, the 1884-CC has a mintage of just 9,925 pieces. No more than a few hundred coins are extant, many of which were exported during the late 19th or early 20th centuries after acquiring wear in domestic circulation. These examples, once repatriated, account for the majority of pieces in collectors' hands. The typical survivor grades EF, although few are as attractively original and problem free as the coin offered here. Superior quality that is worthy of a premium bid. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection. PCGS# 8704. NGC ID: 266B. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
